Firstly, as a ground use light mg, the lMG08/15 was developed (lower case 'l', standing for 'leicht' - light) with a lightened/cut down receiver, pistol grip and buttstock added, and smaller diameter water jacket. One of these is being used as a flexible gun, but with a ventilated jacket to allow air cooling (which I'm not sure is authentic). | Firstly, as a ground use light mg, the lMG08/15 was developed (lower case 'l', standing for 'leicht' - light) with a lightened/cut down receiver, pistol grip and buttstock added, and smaller diameter water jacket.

Incorrect Lebel Picture
The one picture in the Lebel section, where it is firing towards the camera, isn't a Lebel. Look at the soldier's helmet, he is clearly a German soldier. In the Gewehr 98 section, it even mentions that some of the Gewehr 98s had scope attachments. A scope is clearly attached to the supposed Lebel. But the biggest give-away is the fact that it is being fired by a German soldier.
LMG08/15
I think this could almost be classed as two quite distinct variants derived from the original, ground pattern MG08 heavy mg. Firstly, as a ground use light mg, the lMG08/15 was developed (lower case 'l', standing for 'leicht' - light) with a lightened/cut down receiver, pistol grip and buttstock added, and smaller diameter water jacket. One of these is being used as a flexible gun, but with a ventilated jacket to allow air cooling (which I'm not sure is authentic). Secondly, as a fixed, synchronised aircraft gun was the LMG08/15 (capital 'L', standing for 'luftgekuhlt' - aircooled) which had the same cut down receiver, a ventilated barrel jacket, but clearly had no need for the stock or pistol grip.
